Hi, here's your problem today. This problem was recently asked by Facebook:

Given a list, find the k-th largest element in the list.
Input: list = [3, 5, 2, 4, 6, 8], k = 3
Output: 5
Here is a starting point:

def findKthLargest(nums, k):
  # Fill this in.

print findKthLargest([3, 5, 2, 4, 6, 8], 3)
# 5
"""

def findKthLargest(nums, k):
    if nums:
        try:
            nums.sort()
            return nums[-k]

        except IndexError:
            return "There are not " + str(k) + " numbers in this list."

    else:
        return "This list is empty."

print(findKthLargest([3, 5, 2, 4, 6, 8], 3))
